Creation of the HUMAINE portal dedicated to research on emotions

Source: HUMAINE <http://www.emotion-research.net/>

The HUMAINE electronic portal is a rich source of information for researchers in emotions and human-machine interaction. The portal is maintained in English and provides core resources about technological challenges (detection, synthesis, cognition and action), applications (emotion in complex media, usability and evaluation), and psychology (theory and empirical data). It also provides news, and introduces upcoming events, researchers, job opportunities, tools, and publications.

The portal appears frequently updated... [Access]
